Answer

$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty }{6k\text{ }}$

Work Step by Step

$6+12+18+24+\ldots $ This can be written as, $6\cdot 1+6\cdot 2+6\cdot 3+6\cdot 4+\ldots $ This is the sum of the positive multiples of $6$, and the value of $k$ varies from $k=1$ to $k=\infty $, Thus, the sigma notation is, $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty }{6k}$ Thus, the sigma notation for the sum $6+12+18+24+\ldots $ is$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty }{6k\text{ }}$.
